Exploring
unconscious bias - the hidden prejudices that we don't know we have
- and left unchecked, can cause us to overlook talent and miss customer
opportunities. This workshop increases awareness of the conscious
and unconscious biases and assumptions that impede working together
successfully.

Unconscious
bias can lead to faulty decision making, intellectually we accept
difference but in decision making moments when we see or hear something
that does not fit our world view we revert and make it mean something
that fits.

Unconscious
bias also exists within organisations. Unwritten behaviours and stories
maintain an organisational culture. They can tell you what ways of
working, behaviours or types of people are valued. They can reveal
the discrimination and stereotyping that exists.

Biases
and perceptions can lead to a misconstrued view of reality and the
way we process information. We need to challenge this in ourselves
and within the organisation if we are to build inclusive organisations.

This
highly interactive and experiential workshop explores the idea of
unconscious bias and provides techniques and strategies to guard against
it.
